Gellan gum shows a gel-sol transition at a temperature of 50 °C. Two relaxation peaks were definitely observed both in gel and in solution. The high frequency peak observed at about 10 GHz could be easily attributed to free water. It is a surprising result that free water exists even in the gel phase and most of water included is the free water. The low frequency peak around 10MHz would be due to orientation of bound water. Relaxation strength shows a drastic change at the gel-solution transition point. It is far greater in gel phase than in solution. No other relaxation process could be found in the frequency range concerned.
